The draft pick signings will come fast and furious over the next few weeks, and the numbers in parentheses below refer to draft rounds. Nondrafted free agents (with schools) also are included. Check out the 2008 Draft Database for draft picks in chronological order.

Bailey struggled with just about everything during his three-game stint in Cincinnati, going 0-3, 8.76 with three strikeouts, 10 walks and six home runs allowed in 12 1/3 innings.
